Mouse Navigation

Mouse navigation in the DSP Configurator application is mostly consistent with standard Microsoft® Windows® behavior and should be intuitive.

See the "Inserting and Deleting a Processor" section in the DMP 64 book, MPX Plus 866 A book, or the
MLS 608 D Series book (depending on device) for information about using the mouse to load processors or open dialog boxes. See the Switcher Matrix Operation section and Switcher Operation section for information about using the mouse to make ties.

Selecting Multiple Blocks

A selected area can be cut, copied, then pasted (see the Paste to a Single Location and Paste to Multiple Locations subsections below). The selection can also be saved to a preset (see the "Presets" section in the DMP 64 book, MPX Plus 866 A book, or MLS 608 D Series book depending on device).

To select multiple blocks of elements:

1. Starting at any corner of the area to be highlighted, click the left mouse button and drag the cursor over the desired blocks.

2. Release the mouse button. The highlighted blocks are outlined in green.

Selecting Multiple Areas

You can select additional areas and retain the previous selection.  

To do so:

Press the <Ctrl> key on the keyboard while clicking the additional elements. Alternatively, press the <Ctrl> key while clicking and dragging the cursor over an additional group of elements.

These methods of selection are mainly used when selecting elements prior to saving a preset (see the "Presets" section in the DMP 64 book, MPX Plus 866 A book, or MLS 608 D Series book depending on device).
